just as our soldier claimed in the al bab, isis svbied's get out of house garages or hidden compartments. only way to fight against this is you either completely level the city (what our army is probs. doing in al bab atm) or you search house by house with infantry.

I don't think the tank was destroyed. I don't know what the vehicle to the right of the tank is though.
Liam Myers
its the idea that matters my friend.
Landon Phillips
>Seeing one of these things approaching must be one of the most terrifying feelings ever desu The iraqis seem to agree.
Adrian Reed
its mostly sharapnel to destroy small vehicles and kill infantry i guess.
Kayden Smith
I can drink to that
Hudson Barnes
where did he find all the shit though.
James Davis
Have you noticed that ISIS VBIEDs seem to be using directional explosives? In the latest Mosul video where all these webms are from it shows that the doors on the SUVs are filled with what looks like Tellermines And you can see in the top down views that the SVBIEDs often seem to explode out to both sides rather than in a circle
Parker Myers
I get the feeling no one was in the cars that actually blew up. Also, doesn't it seem like the explosion was remote controlled since it exploded so late?
Xavier Watson
You think it penetrates a HMV?
Gavin Wilson
Why don't they use mobile roadblocks? Why don't they enact a general car ban during operations? Why don't they use drones themselves to scout for approaching vehicles? Why don't they buy the trusty MILAN at a cheap price from Germany?
Levi Brown
The production quality, yummy
Jaxon King
>lone humvee next to a tank >no security whats so ever definitely not american forces, it's like they want to get bombed in iraq
Nathan Gutierrez
Fresh ISIS video, they're even waterboarding a guy @the end
Ayden Carter
link ?
Ryan Nguyen
Drowning somebody in a fishtank is not waterboarding.
Nathaniel Garcia
I see Turkey is going hard for Aqil Mountain again. Would be fucking hilarious if they get repelled again.
Grayson Davis
>Why don't they use mobile roadblocks? Too many roads to cover, the VBIEDs are not driving through the frontlines but are hidden behind it
>Why don't they enact a general car ban during operations? VBIEDs are hidden
>Why don't they use drones themselves to scout for approaching vehicles? Now that is a good question
>Why don't they buy the trusty MILAN at a cheap price from Germany? They do. At the market in Kirkuk, together with the G36
Jace Long
What's up with these tiny pockets around Baghdad? I hope this is just an error in the hoholmap.
Jayden Hernandez
i believe it can. the explosions are huge, but i doubt it can actually destroy a tank or penetrate a modern APC. it can make them malfunction though for sure.
in the videos they actually look like the explode upwards though, maybe i am seeing wrong.
Elijah Gonzalez
Got deleted unfortunelly Kek I'll have a closer look next time, sorry
Anthony Hall
I think people were in the Humvees look at the two that start to accelerate away That SVBIED was driven by a very young kid shown in the video I think he messed up a little Yeah they show the aftermath in other videos where the Humvees are completely shattered There is no way it penetrates any serious armour I think they even show one time where one blew up next to a BMP and the BMP wasnt even visibly damaged
Liam Morales
That part where the guy without legs is first chilling at a nice river scenery before they roll him to his suicide vehicle made me feel. On the other hand, how do you drive a car when you got no legs?
Joseph Gomez
i found a mirror this one is permanent, will never get deleted
It's meant to mean that there is an active insurgency/partisan warfare going on there.
ISIS is active in the entirety of iraq, and they've been recently upping the pace of operations in places where they dont have territorial control over.
Isaiah Wright
Oh ffs, that is very low quality for a military vehicle.
They could still roll out spike strips around the block where they make a stop. Sure that doesn't help against attacks on moving convoys, but most of the attacks on the video where carried out against parked vehicles.
Or, even more simple: Just park them more spread out, the blast radius seems to be limited
Jose Gray
That was not waterboarding. It was drowning.
Daniel Allen
I wonder that even if the vehichles near the explosion doesn't seem to be destroyed, any human body is killed by the pressure wave from the explosion, even it is protected from shrapnel and such. The blood vessels are simply ruptured inside the body while the skin is intact.
Carter Reyes
generally speaking, the vehicles are in shitty spots in most of these webms. not to mention they're obviously not securing their area and keeping a cordon, keeping eyes out to watch out for these vehicles coming in. issue with that could be lack of personnel, lack of training, lack of efficient leadership and orders, or any of the above put together.
Oliver Russell
kek:D wher is that from?
Brandon Scott
I have never met a Kurd but always believed that they had a legitimate cause, but like you said fuck em.
Eli Sanders

Ryan Hughes
did a new pocket just appear on hohol ticker, west of e. ghouta in al qaboun??
1. Mosul falls; might take US troops to do it but it needs to fall, and with it will go half of Daesh's army.
2. Raqqa falls; again, American involvement may be needed
3. Idlib falls, though I may be too optimistic in thinking that will happen before 2018
I want Trump to do the following if he's actually capable of it and doesnt just act like a buffoon (again, possibly misplaced optimism):
- patch things up with the Turks; we dont need to lose a NATO member over this stupid bullshit - negotiate something between the Turks and the Kurds. Trump is in many ways like Erdogan, I really hope they can find some way of resolving this because I really, really, REALLY dont want the US to backstab the YPG just to satisfy the Turks. - detente with the Russians; though, I fear that rather than get a good deal with them in terms of influence spheres, Putin will just manipulate him. - somehow, someway, deal with Yemen. Because there's AQ crawling out of the woodwork over there and its becoming a problem
Unfortunately, I fear Trump's vigorous anti-Iran stance and refusal to accept the nuclear deal may drag him into either a proxy or direct war with Iran that is, once again, unwinnable.
Of course this is all optimistic. If he really is a sucker for Putin's shit, then Id prefer he remain standoffish rather than cater to him. But it may not be possible anyway - his anti-Iran stance will put him in conflict with the Russians regardless.
Logan Howard
pls stop using hoholmap. anyway,
SyrianCivilWarMap: no pocket there GlobalEventMap: no pocket there TutoMap: a smaller version of the pocket agathocledesyracuse: a pocket with a "disputed" legend colour (some truce pockets have this colour too)
so its not new. as always hoholmap overexaggerates the rebel area, and as always hoholmap ignores truces
Matthew Gomez
The hohol is inaccurate often, but also provides the most imformation most quickly compared to the others.
I cross-check it with the subreddit to try to find confirmation.
Sebastian Anderson
this one? >tfw superior paint skills
Matthew Adams
yeah it was coloured as a truce area (but that area was larger than this new pocket) on a recent map i saw. anyway, it would make little since for them to break the truce because much of the supplies coming into E. Ghouta come via tunnels to truce areas (the distance to the proper pocket is only some hundred meters). UNLESS that traffic is somehow being hindered by loyalists now.
Thomas Long
lmao wrong pic
Jaxon Ward
Theres a reconciliation agreement being drawn up there
Evan Wood
Or maybe you should just have air overwatch and hellfire the fuckers as they show up. Y'know, combined arms and all that shit.
Levi Reyes
No it's an old one
Dominic Lewis
choppers would be insanely powerful but isis has ground to air stuff against them
Austin Richardson
the driving components (which you would activate by your legs) are placed on the steering wheel (so that you can activate them by hand) - you know they make cars for disabled people, right?

Many SDF gainz.
Also, AQ commanders assassinated by drone/B52 strikes in Idlib.
Fighting in Wadi Barada.
Sebastian Russell
ÖSO son bir kaç haftadır kayıp veriyor mu el bab'da?Hep bizimkilerin şehit haberleri geliyor sanki.

There is no Fsa in al-Bab they ran away and we are trying to regroup them.We are using our own troops in Al-Bab
Parker Murphy
>Al Nusra succeeded to merge 7 factions under "Syrian Islamic Body"
Where can I read more?
Benjamin Peterson
About time somebody condenses this clusterfuck
Zachary Harris
Has anyone ever noticed that the DoD does announce their strikes against AQ in Idlib but whatever dipshit they have writing the online reports keeps reporting JFS personnel as ISIL?
William Ross
>Also, AQ commanders assassinated by drone/B52 strikes in Idlib. US never release any video anymore?
Eli Watson

>B-52 strikes Carpet bombing??????????
Xavier Allen
Dediğin doğruysa skim bu suriyelilerin yapacağı işi :DDDD
David Bell
They usually dont do that til later.
Theres video from people in Idlib though. No one caught the B52 on camera, only the impacts, but they did film the Reaper.
Carson Campbell
just get on with it so that we can finally declare the entirety of idlib terrorists
Michael Roberts
They dont carpet bomb, they just use it to carry a whole bunch of JDAMs at once.
Leo Hughes
C'mon, it's THE sperg you are talking to. Obviously they were killed by drones.
Michael Gomez
There is max 100 or less Fsa niggers in Al-Bab province.That is why we are constantly sending more troops to Syria. Jdams are boring Wasn't Otto the real Sperg
Adrian Gutierrez
I thought the rebels from Aleppo were being transported to Al Bab. In fact, I remember seeing news of their arrival (~2400 of them) some time ago, but I didn't hear anything about it since. Maybe it was false news
Ryan Roberts
Did Otto finally give up on shit posting? Was Aleppo the graveyard of onurs dreams?
Carter Reed
The Al-[Embed] guys in Al-Bab moved to idlib and got arrested by Al-Nusra.Other than that we didn't get any Fsa support we lost a lot. I think he died in the night club shootings.
Leo Garcia
>(Far right volunteers) wtf is the story of this group?
Matthew White
mostly media bs and propaganda. its no secret european fash sympathise with assad (i was involved with one of the fashy pro-syria networks for a while) but so far any actual volunteer fighters is based on hear say, nothing concrete.
Jordan Davis
Damn. Honestly wouldnt be surprising. That or he finally achieved his dream of joining the gay wolves
David Ortiz
Dunno if it was posted already or not, but here're some photoes of T-55s modyfied by the Best Korea for SAA. Above the cannon they have korean laser ranger, sensors of atmospheric parameters and ballistic computer.
